If the side of a cube is 3, which of the following options is equal to the ratio between the surface area and the volume of the cube?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 2 : 1.

Given that

Side of the cube = 3

Surface area  of cube = 6a2

Volume = a3

The ratio of surface area to volume = 6a2 : a3 

⇒ 6×3×33×3×3\frac{6 × 3 × 3}{3 × 3 × 3} = 2 : 1 

The ratio between the surface area and the volume of the cube is 2 : 1
